John McCain to Donald Trump

18/01/2018

In December, The New York Times reported that "many of the world's autocrats and dictators are taking a shine to" fake news, including Venezuela's socialist leader, Nicolás Maduro, and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Trump described his "Fake News Awards" in a January 7 tweet, saying he would single out "losers" and "the most corrupt & biased of the Mainstream Media". "But constant cries of "fake news" undercut this type of reporting and strip activists of one of their most powerful tools of dissent". The president initially tweeted that they would be on Monday, January 8, but later postponed them to Wednesday, January 17.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders downgraded the scheduled show to a "potential event" on Tuesday.

It is unclear whether the awards are, well, real.

"This guy makes up more stuff, and he should be crowned the fountainhead of fake news", Williams said Wednesday on "The Five".

On Tuesday the Media Research Center released new analysis of evening newscasts of the President by three major media outlets: ABC, CBS and NBC.

"Whether Trump knows it or not, these efforts are being closely watched by foreign leaders who are already using his words as cover as they silence and shutter one of the key pillars of democracy", wrote the senior senator. Foreign leaders using the phrase can make it more hard for activists overseas to express dissent, McCain argued.

This alone should be a source of great shame for us in this body, especially for those of us in the president's party.

He criticized the President for calling the news media the "enemy of the people", calling it "an assault as unprecedented as it is unwarranted". ".Ultimately, freedom of information is critical for a democracy to succeed".

"So that's the press doing its job and it's highly inconvenient for him".

The president's support base shares his view that the media is waging a partisan battle against the administration, but the prospect of the awards has fueled criticism from Republicans like Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake over Trump's adversarial treatment of the media.
